§ Mr. Hawksleyasked the Secretary of State for Employment what percentage of last summer's school leavers have jobs.
§ Mr. Peter MorrisonPrecise information in the form requested is not available. It is estimated that in Great Britain by December 1980 about 75 per cent. of last year's school leavers, who were available for employment, were in work or had been in work since leaving school. In addition, in December, a further 10 per cent., or more were taking part in the Youth Opportunities Programme (YOP).
